WHO WOULD BE A BREWER7
He Makes Much Money, but he Has
 to Earn Every Cent of It.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.]
 The New York brewers sold about 100000 barrels of beer in 1886, so that at the estimated profit of $1 & barrel they made $5,000,OOO. This divided among the eighty in this neighborhood gives $5O,O0O apiece; but while few made so little, many made great deal more-one having sold nearly 100000 barrels, and three or four having made over 100000 barrels or dollars. Many of them live quite grandly, the mansion that one has built fronting the Park be- ing one of the finest homes in the city, and of course they don't do any manual work; in fact, many of them have their riches forced upon them, and haven't the ability to do the work of the hum blest of their clerks. There is college in town for teaching brewing where four boys year get that education free. The business will grow as the country grows and has grown, so that some of the grad uates may be regarded as certain to be very rich men.
 Is this 8 chance to recommend to a youth to strive for9 After a long ac- quaintance with many brewers say de- cidedly no. I would not put boy into the business nor go into it myself under even the most advantageous circum- stances. In many respects their riches are earned the hardest of any moneys made in New York. This is not said from temperance standpoint, but be- cause of the lives the brewers have to lead and the things they have to do to make their money. For instance, they are obliged to drink like the suction pipe of a steam engine. Whenever @ GUS toner begins business or opens new saloon or refurnishes an old one, the brewer must come and spend money like water and drink like a fish. It is just the same when the customer has a we'd ding or a christening, or takes a partner, or does anything that furnishes an ex cuse for inviting the brewer around to divide a portion of his profits. He would be stingy if he didn't spend the money, and disrespectful if he didn't drink, and in either case he would lose his customer. Fancy a man at the head of great business and possessing great wealth obliged to get drunk four nights week to keep his business. True, a few don't do it, but employ hail fellows to take their places, yet most of those fellows had to do exactly that in build ing up their businesses.
 Then, again, the average New York brewer is at the beck and call of the sa- loon keepers in many other ways. They are expected to lend money on every sort of pretence, to go bail for their GUS toners whenever they are arrested and whatever it may be for, to go to their weddings, christenings, balls, and to subscribe money for every de- vice that a liquor dealer can invent to beg for.

The Minneapolis Journal tells this for a true story
 Everybody in Dakota knows Wilbur F. Steel. He was member of the Leg islature from Steel county. There is an incident in Steele's Legislative career that goes very far to show his character istic regard for his wife. He has one fault, however. He takes no stock in woman suffrage except when he IS obliged to. On the occasion in question the Woman Suffrage bill was before the House. Major Pickley was champion ing the cause of the fair sex in eloquent words when call was made for a vote, and the Clerk proceeded to call the roll. When Steele's name was reached he rose with the dignity of 8 Demosthenes and commenced
 ''Mr. Speaker, I am sorry that l can not support this bill, but"
 At that moment well-dressed lady was seen to bend over the gallery rail. In loud voice she exclaimed:
 "W-i-l-b-u-r!'
 He glanced upward. It was enough. He turned and said:
 ''Mr. Speaker, vote ave-"
 The lady was Steele's wife.

GUILFORD MILLER'S FARM,
An Honest Settlers Home Coveted
 by a Big Corporation.

Guilford Miller is poor farmer in Washing ton Territory, who settled himself and made a home on government land fifty miles from the line of the Northern Pacific Rrailroad, ill 1878. As Congress had given this corporation strip forty miles wide on each side of it's track for building it's road, on the ground that railroad is an accommodation and advantage to the people near it, Guilford Miller probably thought that if he got fifty miles away, while the road would not be of much advantage to him, still he would bo safe from its greedy land grabbing.
 Guilford Miller began to make his farm in 1878. The Northern Pacific corporation wait ed until 1885, seven years after he had settled there, and then attempted to grab it. It 'reached out for him. as they say out West. The corporation might have taken other land; :; but no, it wanted Guilford Miller's farm, on which he had put seven years hard work.
 President Cleveland now instructs the Secre- tary of the Interior "to protect this settler from hardship and loss;' and if he finds the corporation is entitled to more land than it has already got, to 'sdirect it to select land upon which neither Miller nor any other citizen has in good faith settled and made improve ments. .

The Calhoun Statue.

The glories of perfect day emphasized the honors paid by the people of South Carolina to the memory of John c. Calhoun. The statue of the Palmetto States great son was unveiled with imposing ceremonies, both mil itarv and civic in character. It stands on Marion square. One correspondent says, though it is intended to represent John c. Calhoun, nobody who ever saw that statesman while he was alive would know him by this and homely enough to attract attention, but tine artists say that he lacks a great deal of being beauty. His chair is enormous, and his forefinger, with which he is making a ges- ture to an imaginary Senate sitting somewhere across the way, is long and skinny. There is very little in his position or his appearance to excite enthusiasm. It took, three. years to put him up there. ssS- s

From a weIl-known Gentleman of Lock- port, and ex-President of the New York State Pharmaceutical Associations
 Lockport, N. Y., April 16, 1886. Pdrdee Medicine Co:
 GENTS In reply to your communication of April 18th, take pleasure in stating that for years physicians and druggists have been trying to secure remedy for these obstinate and painful complaints such as neuralgia, rheumatism and nervous headaches, to which every one is liable who lives in this climate, and until quite recently the efforts of both chemist and doctor have been unsuccessful; but am pleased at last that such remedy is found in the compound of Dr. Pardee's Rheu- matic Remedy. I recommend it to all who are suffering with rheumatism. I have yet to hear of the first case of rheumatism which it has not greatly relieved, and where the remedy has been used as directed, nearly ev- cry case has been permanently cured.
 Respectfully yours,
 F. K. SWEET.

Bridge and Road.

The Board of Supervisors, accompanied
by Mr.. Berry, bridge-builder of Elk
Grove, proceeded to Folsom yesterday
morning to examine into the condition OF
the wire suspension bridge over the Ameri-
can river at that point. After a careful
examination they became satisfied that the
bridge IS all right, except as regards the tow
ers, which, having been built % years ago,
and not properly sheathed to protect them
from the elements, have been ruined by
dry-rot, and will have to be replaced at
once. Mr.. Berry will recommend that
iron or stone be used in the reconstruction.
1t has also been suggested that the anchor
age of the cables of the bridge be given
careful inspection.
After they had completed their exam
ination of the bridge. the Board Wis
tied the Folsom Prison, and were en-
tertained by Warden McComb in a
very agreeable manner. The Warden
has lately laid out and graded admirably a
new road from the prison to the town of
Folsom, which follows the old railroad
route, and reduces the wagon road distance
ABOUT one and one-half miles. The work
was performed by convict labor, and car
ried out with view of permanence. The
Warden called the attention of the Board
to the road, and requested that it be official
ly adopted and declared a public highway,
which the Supervisors will be we'll pleased
to do, and they would also be gratified if
they could obtain more work of such ex-
cellence so cheaply. The Board returned
to the city by the afternoon train. each
member bearing huge bouquet of beauti-
ful flowers, and all of them speaking in
terms of admiration of the well directed
energy which Warden McComb has shown
in the Improvements inaugurated and car
ried to completion in and about the Prison.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Hay
Fever-A New Treatment.
lFrom the scientific american !

From the Scientific Americana
Catarrh, on account of its prevalence in
this country, is attracting q good deal of
attention, more especially now when there
is probability of visit from diphtheria,
for where there is muco-purulent dis
charge, such discharge forms indus very
inviting to diphtheria germs and very favor
able for their reproduction in more VIC
lent form, thus placing sufferers from
Catarrh at great disadvantage in the event
of diphtheria visitation.
Catarrh is contagious disease 1t is
muco-purulent discharge, caused by the
presence of vegetable parasite in the lin
ing membrane of the nose. These para
sites reproduce themselves in great multi
tudes, and each generation is more viru-
lent. They spread up the nostrils and
down the fauces or back of the throat, caus-
ing liberation of the throat up the eusta-
chan tubes, causing deafness; burrowing
in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness !;
usurping the proper functions of the bron-
chial tubes, ending in pulmonary con-
sumption and death.
The reason that Catarrh has become so
prevalenta disease is entirely due to the fact
| that it has not been understood. Physicians
| have been unanimous in treating it as
| simple Inflammation of the membrane pre-

should not be applied oftener than once in

brane time to heal before making another

now sufferers from this disease who appre-
ciate the fact that il is. by way of Its Sec
ondary effects, a most deadly one, will be

the most aggravated cases of Catarrh have
been permanently cured in from one to
three simple applications. The interesting
